If what you are getting to here is networking and a vnc client and or X
server that can be started from auto run so that there is no pre
configuration on the machine. Then I vote for that too.

One thing I was thinking of for an autorun cd is if cygwin's X can be used
it has a mode for letting windows be the window manager. That mode has a
nice seemless look to it. That combined with a nice linux "task bar" at
the top of the screen would be really cool.
